aloha!

when i was in high school i wanted to give my bedroom a tropical hawaiian look.
this fabric would have been perfect. we still laugh about it now but i actually think 
one of these as a statement cushion would be really cool. not such a silly idea after all!



i heart nyc


my friend mj is here at the moment.
needless to say i am very envious. 

etsy love ♥

in love


oh my goodness i am so in love with devon rex kitties. 
i'm house and cat sitting for ash and john at the moment 
and i can't wait to get home from work to see their two
devon babies. i get big cuddles all through the night and 
they wear the sweetest jumpers to keep warm. how am i 
going to go back to not having the love of these guys?
i seriously think having a cat is a big piece of my 
happiness puzzle. like everything 'one day'...

pictures of paris

i had no idea that i had collected so many pictures of the eiffel tower over time. 
i always save pictures that i love when i see them, building up a little bank for my blog.
tonight i am cashing in these pretty sights, all in one go. clearly i've had paris on the mind!
i will take my very own photo one day, maybe even this year! yes, a trip to europe is on the cards. 







oh what a night


mum and i went to see jersey boys on sunday afternoon.
it was amazing and now i can't stop singing 'oh what a night'.
it had everyone up in their chairs at the very end and it makes
me feel good when i hear it now. i miss my seventies music.
i used to play it all the time after school. i had a this cd set and
i would dance around my room for hours listening to it, wishing i
was growing up in the seventies. i was a very tame teenager!

why?


why does my heart feel so bad? 
why does my soul feel so bad?

praying to the hair gods


i had naomi plait my hair tonight in the hope that tomorrow morning it will look as beautiful, natural and effortless as this. the last time i attempted this, alyce braided my hair and the outcome was not lovely waves, but instead frizzy, crimped hair. it was still fun but hardly the effect i was going for.

11:11


see this so often. like tonight.

important announcement


already dreaming of this.
why do i evade sleep at night,
but long for it in the morning?

blame it on the cold




hello! i am back from a little blogging break. 
it wasn't planned for but it has been nice not opening my laptop
for a couple of weeks. the need to express and create hasn't been 
as strong lately but as beth says, it comes and goes in waves.
a good word to describe how i've been feeling is 'lull'.
(a temporary interval of quiet or lack of activity)
i've still been doing things... breakfast, morning tea, 
brunch, dinners, drinks and outings here and there, 
but inside i am feeling very low on energy and motivation. 
getting out of bed in the morning is a struggle and i 
think to myself 'do i really have to go to work 
today, and every other day for the rest of my life?'
it's like i've just realised that i have a job to go to,
even though i've been doing it for forever now.
i know i'm being dramatic, something i am highly
skilled at, but i honestly think i have the winter blues. 
i find myself wishing i was a uni student with little 
responsibilities so that i could skip classes, sleep in, 
not get dressed and spend all day watching day time tv.
ridiculous and unsustainable, but if i had three wishes...  
maybe this sudden urge can be blamed (another thing
i'm good at, finding something to blame!) on living back in 
leafy paddington (just one street from my first house here) 
where i spent a great deal of time doing exactly that!
who knows, but whatever it is, i hope it goes away soon. 
i have big plans for happiness in my new home and
my lull seems to be getting in the way of that. 

(ok, i've thought about it more, 
i officially blame the cold weather...
lacking motivation is in no way my own issues)
